On Tuesday night, I received one of those phone calls that you never want to get. My aunt had been failing in health the past of couple of days. The family had been called into the hospital because she was not going to make it. Two hours later I received a phone call that my aunt had been placed in hospice care and her time on earth was going to be brief. A couple hours later she was dead. Her death has been made even more difficult by the fact that we are all gathering this weekend to celebrate the marriage of her granddaughter.
My sister posted on facebook last night about the circle of life and she is correct. On Wednesday morning, my aunt joined her husband of many years in heaven. Completing the beginning of their life together in heaven. On Saturday, Angela and David will begin their life together joined as one in Holy Matrimony here on earth. Her grandparents will have the best seat in the house as they look down on this union being made here on earth.
On Tuesday, we will bury my aunt's body. We will once gain join together with family and friends to celebrate a life that has touched many of us here on earth. My aunt never won any awards or was known by name across the world but her life richly blessed many others. She touched many of those who lived her on earth. Last night, facebook was filled with tributes to the legacy she left behind.
The circle of life is a great way to label the next few days. We have all come early to help Angela put the finishing touches on her wedding and begin to mourn the loss of my aunt. We will rejoice in the gift of Yes the circle of life is a great way to describe what is going to happen in our lives in the next few days, We will miss you Aunt Barb but are glad that your suffering here on earth is over.
